Here is a way to push banshee played song to zeitgeist and from there you can use synapse (a gnome-do like tool written in vala with zeitgeist super powers!) to find the played songs !

Synapse using Banshee-Zeitegeist Dataprovider

The method applying in this post assumes you are familiar with ubuntu ppa’s, command line and git. Also use the details below at your OWN RISK !!!

# get the required stuff
# latest banshee
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/banshee-unstable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install banshee banshee-community-extensions
# if you have already banshee just use
# sudo apt-get upgrade !
# OPTIONAL : get synapse (gnome-do like application with zeitgeist support)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:synapse-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synapse
# get banshee development libs
sudo apt-get install git-core autoconf automake libtool intltool gcc make libgconf2.0-cil-dev libgconf2-dev && sudo apt-get build-dep banshee
# don't forget the zeitgeist-sharp lib so that you can use banshee.zeitgeist provider
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:manishsinha/experimental
sudo apt-get install libzeitgeist-cil-dev

# make temporary folder and get the banshee community extensions from source
mkdir temp_BCE
cd temp_BCE/
# install git if you don't have it already
sudo apt-get install git
# clone the source files
git clone git://gitorious.org/banshee-community-extensions/banshee-community-extensions.git banshee-community-extensions
cd banshee-community-extensions
# enable only the zeitgeist provider, the others are already installed from the banshee-unstable-ppa
./autogen.sh --disable-alarmclock --disable-ampache --disable-appindicator --disable-awn --disable-clutterflow --disable-coverwallpaper --disable-jamendo --disable-lastfmfingerprint --disable-lcd --disable-lirc --disable-liveradio --disable-lyrics --disable-magnatune --disable-mirage --disable-openvp --disable-radiostationfetcher --disable-randombylastfm --disable-soundmenu --disable-streamrecorder --disable-telepathy --disable-ubuntuonemusicstore
# _make_ and ... pray for no errors
make
# then to use the Banshee.ZeitgeistDataprovider copy the dll to the extensions folder
sudo cp bin/Banshee.ZeitgeistDataprovider.dll /usr/lib/banshee-1/Extensions/
# enjoy!!
# start banshee, enable the extension (Edit-> preferences -> extensions -> Zeitegeist Dataprovider)
# restart banshee, play a song, close banshee. activate Synapse, go to audio tab and hit down button and see the song you played before logged from zeitgeist!

you can get the instructions also at pastebin :

2) purge existing flash :

sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper

3) cd ~/Downloads

4) tar zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

5) sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

6) restart firefox
7) done!
:-D

But what if at some point you want to revert all the changes so you have the default packages reinstalled again?

Running :

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

does not reinstall its dependencies. So the solution is :

sudo apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk -F ":" '{print $2}' | \
sed '/^$/d' | xargs sudo apt-get \
install --reinstall --install-recommends --yes

(yes this is one line :))

Enjoy

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

Now you can have full-screen videos again in youtube ;)

dpkg --get-selections > package.list

To restore the list after a new clean install and automatically re-install the packages :

sudo dpkg --set-selections < package.list

 sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade

As simple as that!

Really !!

If you use gnome you can do it also. All you have to do is install gnome-blog package.

For ubuntu users do :

sudo apt-get install gnome-blog

and then follow this instructions to blog.

*editing from within wordpress now :

Gnome-blog rocks! I wish it supported categories and tags.

it is working under ubuntu linux 9.04

I asked myself the same question today, after a clean Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 install

So i’ve decided to keep a big one line install command (aka donwload the world!) just to make things easier

Here it is

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install vim banshee gnome-do-plugins
fusion-icon emerald compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported compizconfig-settings-manager openssh-server
flashplugin-nonfree padevchooser wallpaper-tray wine gparted

i ‘ll updating the above one line command regularly

Create a file named “down.txt” and paste the rapidshare links there, one link per line.

Next create a bash file named “multidown” and paste the following in it, replacing the “YourUsername” and “YourPassword” with your data :

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(cat down.txt); do
wget   -nc  --user=YourUsername  --password=YourPassword "$i"
done

then alter permissions for this fileto make it executable

chmod u+x multidown

and run it

./multidown

or you can also put a launcher in your desktop ;)
